2025 Brownlow Medal

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

So the BIGGEST CHEATER in the game... Matt Rowell.. the player throws the ball the most of any player in the league, and gets looked after by umpires...suprise suprise, gets the most votes from those same umpires. What a joke.

Are you talking through your pocket mate?

Haha he is celebrating a win for a club his son plays for, SOS a legend of yours was doing the same action from the carpark on his sons 100th game for your club

His only 22/23 has another 10 yrs to try win one, i know his a stat nerd so his likely more pissed off at the games where Rowell voted 3 and projected 0, which yeah if they didn’t happen, would have given him the medal

If he can’t win it in a side that’s won so many games, in a midfield without anyone taking votes off him… I can’t see Collingwood falling off a cliff is going to help him.

Not seeing it for Nick - he is a good player though!

Love how everyone tries to compare Will Ashcroft to Nick Daicos.. he only got 11 votes.. hes not even at Josh daicos's standard let alone nicks... lol

Has a Norm Smith to his name though, unlike Nick.

What sort of dysfunctional ahole takes pride in being an obnoxious prick.

Damn I'm humbled by those post counts.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Staggering to believe that there are miserable dumbasses like yourself that exist .

Tough week?

Could finish his career with 3-4 premierships, a Norm, and possibly a Charlie too.

Congrats to Rowell! Deserving winner. He is a beast on the level of Dangerfield.

Nick’s average votes per game (already the highest ever) just improved even more. What a consistent superstar. Wish he didn’t have to carry our team by himself.

A lot of dislikes on a post that is pretty factual

New to the Brownlow? Happens every year. Especially amongst the leading few players, and more so the winning players. That being said, Rowell deserved it and still likely would have won it anyway, even if you remove some of those questionable games, and some for his nearest rivals too.

But the Brownlow is long broken anyway. It went from decades of umpires being able to recognize talent in forward, defence and ruck. To getting tunnel vision for midfielders, as it became a midfielder award. And now we get people scoring too highly vote wise, as well as polling in games where they were not even amongst the best few on the ground.

This is why many now rate the coaches and players awards as having more prestige. The whole voting thing needs an overhaul. Will proper post game analysis, as opposed to umpires viewing the game like super coach and handing votes to accumulators more than impact.

It's funny though. The NFL now has the same problem. Where voters cannot see beyond a QB. Something about modern aged people and the inability to remove bias and see wider pictures no more.

A weighted average score of all three awards rolled into the one could work . Very rarely do you have the same bias present itself in all three voting categories.

You can have the bias evening itself out by adjusting the weighting factor of that particular award.

They're all mostly millionaires, they don't need free booze.

And?

You met many millionaires?

They're stingy as ****.

 

[EagleShore]

Because people have eyes.

Poor logic. But I will ask the following for completion on dissecting your nonsensical, baseless concerns: How do you know what they were drinking? And if no poor behaviour, how would children be unduly influenced?

Brownlow Medals:

Will Ashcroft: 0

Nick Daicos: 0

I don't know man, seems like a fair comparison to me.

Look mate, I turned on at round 18 or something and I saw a bunch of adults acting like tools. Each to their own.

Will is the one with Norm Smith and a chance at another this week yeah?

 

[My Tilly]

One guy who has a better opportunity at winning a Brownlow before Daicos is Horne-Francis. Finished on 10 votes from 15 games but has that 'awe' factor and is constantly kicks goals now.

Every inside mid throws the ball these days, ever watched Worpel and Newcombe?

 

[Khmerhawk]

Because there is a milliion people watching . You can drink afterwoods . To retain your dignity.

Well if they were doing lines of coke off a crack whores ass I could see your concerns but I don’t think seeing players sipping on a couple of beers will do any damage.

Yes they throw the ball... Nowhere near as much as Rowell, not even close. Go rewatch a Gold Coast game.

 

[My Tilly]

Damn I'm humbled by those post counts.

And half of them were potting Geelong.

 

[Osho]

Damn I'm humbled by those post counts.

Well done!
I'm in awe of Lukeparkerno1.

 

[Mick F]

Yeah clearances and contested possies in the midfield is all that matters.

We should seriously consider 3 separate categories and awards for midfield, forward and defence imo.

What do you think the Team of the Year is?

 

[Elixuh]

What’s cringe is the outcry to take the Brownlow away from the Umps and effectively score it based on SuperCoach points.

Get outta here

Daicos averages 19 votes per 15 games across his career.

You’re a ****ing moron.
